Hahaha you're only nostalgic about your own life. If you say E28 528i or 535i, yes!!! ❤️ But 524td, why? Crappiest engine ever, only known as "the bavarian smoke machine". BMW made a few mistakes too and 524 is one of them. R.I.P. 524td!
@Zombie Head With petrol engines you have coils and spark plugs to think about which is no big deal but Diesel engines by their nature last longer especially as Diesel fuel itself lubricates the engine.
@Zombie Head Diesel engines in general are more robust, primarily due to the need to reinforce them due to very high cylinder pressures caused by the compression ignition/extremely high compression ratios. I would bet that most diesel engines would outlast their gasoline counterparts due to this simple fact.
There is a drain plug on the canister so it doesn’t make such a mess . I miss my 85 524td. I put 300k on it. It had 400k on it when I lost track of it. Same engine and trans
This thing is from back in the day when cars were actually worth their money and weren't engineered to break every 5 years so they can sell you a new one...
I'm not so sure. Cars as recently as the late '90s would rust. Most cars of the '70s & '80s would rust like mad. Most cars would be dead after 8-10 years or so having rotted to bits. I own an '87 Granada Scorpio 2.9 V9. Yes, the engine is rather bullet proof as it's all iron but I swear I can hear it rusting on quiet evenings. I also own a 2003 E60 530i. It's done 189k miles (304k kms) and has no rust on it as all. the engine, box & diff all run extremely quietly and it's very reliable.

These engines were not very reliable for a diesel. My dad wanted one in 1983, but was advised to have a look at Mercedes-Benz, because the dealership was honest enough to tell about the (initial) issues. Head gaskets were a bit weak at the time. But the car went very well. Fast and with a lovely sound.
@@UnusSedLeo-w5l Partly true: The Head gasket has Problems if you push them very hard on the motorway in germany. Driving 190km/h longer time and then stop them fast on the parking place without letting them run in 1000 u/min for at least 2 minutes. The water was boiling then in the cylinder head.... The head gasket dies then very fast. The mercedes natural spirated diesel: like the W124 300D never dies. You can push hours with 180 km/h on the motorway. These engine are by far the reliable ones. More reliable than any japanese car. The only disatvantage mercedes diesel had, whas their fuel economy. Because of the pre-chamber injection system they neede more fiuel.

The rabbit , the japanese toyota the injection pump always broke.... The good inline injection pump that was quality
It's called planned obsolescence ;) most car manufacturers prefer the cars to break down at certain point so people would need new ones or go to them for a fix, more $$$. Back then the audis, bmw-s & mercedeses were top notch quality and lasted forever if maintained properly.
i have 2 Nissan primera from 96 and 01 they are undestructable! every electronic Devise is still working! great Quality! they are like very good friends never let me down!
Damn.. That oil filter design was probably better than cars today. Way more secure. However, I think it might leak if the seal around the housing is bad.
I love your videos, rebirth the abandoned classics. My first car was a Volvo 240 D6, 1984! 2.4 litre, inline 6 diesel, 61 kw, I loved it! I drove it for almost 9 years! I subscribed your channel! :)
There is a diesel car coming back from the valley of death, my like is guaranteed! I just don't understand why they abandon these cars in time, because they are still good.
This car was one of the fastest diesels ever. 115bhp i think it was when diesels were so slow. What does this guy do with all cars he starts? 257,000 miles that BMW has done. Mental

Old diesel engines are so good. You only need battery, coolant, diesel and oil to make them running 🔝🔝🔝
i think same as every engine
@Zombie Head With petrol engines you have coils and spark plugs to think about which is no big deal but Diesel engines by their nature last longer especially as Diesel fuel itself lubricates the engine.
Brakes can also be helpful
@Zombie Head Diesel engines in general are more robust, primarily due to the need to reinforce them due to very high cylinder pressures caused by the compression ignition/extremely high compression ratios. I would bet that most diesel engines would outlast their gasoline counterparts due to this simple fact.
